Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 49.

Given conditions: ‘+’ means ‘−’, ‘−’ means ‘×’, ‘×’ means ‘÷’ and ‘÷’ means ‘+’

Given equation: 121 × 11 ÷ 28 - 3 + 46 =?

After interchanging the expression becomes:

= 11 + 28 × 3 - 46

= 11 + 84 - 46

= 95 - 46 = 49
